GUARDIAN OF THE END

Chapter 142 First Phase Of His Plan



"Infinity?" Jason wasn't sure whether he had heard the right thing or not.

"The chamber of rebirth is a special place where time flows differently. The time flow there is similar to that of a dream world. Inside, the more practice you put, the higher results you will get." Issac explained.

"In simpler terms, if you a spell inside the chamber for a week. You will get more than a month's worth of training's result from it." Risa added.

Jason was left stunned by this. Though the same thing happened inside his dream world, he would not be able to communicate with reality.

"Then what about my age and growth?" Jason questioned.

"Well…" Risa sighed. "As soon as you enter the chamber, you will enter it with only your soul. Your physical body will be left behind and you will continue to grow normally."

"I see…" Jason understood why his grandparents had decided to warn him. "Then what did you both mean by a loop?"

"You will continue to train and do the same thing over and over again until you manage to breakthrough a certain threshold. This threshold is chosen by the ruler of the chamber." Risa paused and exchanged a look with Issac.

"I take it this is part where things complicated." Jason sighed.

"Indeed. You have no idea about the limit and in hopes of trying to achieve it, you lose your sense of time. There have been many instances where people have spent multiple decades inside the chamber."

"That is why the only thing you have to do is question the owner of the place about your threshold. You can easily get out in that manner," Risa finished.

Once they were done explaining, the trio decided to go out. Jason found out that his grandparents were actually staying in the academy itself.

There was a special compartment dedicated to the family members of the students who were studying in the academy.

'I guess this was pretty obvious considering how the academy is quite big yet has very few students.'

The trio wandered through the halls of the academy, which to Jason's surprise, were known well by both Issac and Risa.

"Both of us used to study here once," Issac muttered with a nostalgic expression. "In fact, your grandmother was quite popular in our fourth year and above. Her beauty had started to blossom back then and let's just say that the males wanted her attention."

"Indeed. Fortunately, I had managed to form a lot of friends beforehand so not many tried to openly approach me," Risa grinned. "I remember that you were quite shy back then."

"Oi, don't tell Jason about that. My image will be ruined." Issac complained.

Jason watched the duo with a fascinated expression as Risa teased Issac.

'Both of them are so old yet they still feel like a young couple. Perhaps that the level their relationship has developed to after countless years of facing chaos.' He smiled.

The silver-haired boy was curious whether he would get to experience the same things himself.

Perhaps in the future, when he would be married, Jason might experience the same thing. Only time will tell…

On an island situated in a random location which couldn't be described…

"This is quite a funny location we agreed upon," Julian mused.

The king of the Vancouver kingdom was standing at at the edge of a beach with Zilan present right beside him.

"Are you sure that the three of us are enough to carry out this negotiation?" Hecate questioned with a frown on her face. "What if he brings some of those sins with him?"

"There's no need to worry. In his absence, the sins will make sure that nothing happens in the demon kingdom. Due to how the conquest of power of the current king, the residents of the demon continent might rebel or do something like that." Zilan explained.

"That still doesn't explain how he managed to remain the king despite having that much power on his side. Does the rule 'might makes right' still apply there?"

Hecate had to admit that she was a bit surprised to see the procedure of the various realms.

The humans as well as the others didn't function in a way she had expected them to do. Many of their customs were still old fashioned and though changes were slowly happening, nothing radical had taken place.

"No, there is something else that goes inside that realm. Something even I am not aware of." Julian sighed.

The three of them then went silent as a magic circle appeared a few meters in front of them.

Hecate, who was already present in her Nero form, let her body relax. The powers of her mist worked better if she let her body relax.

"Let's get on with this." She murmured as the magic circle ignited with power, indicating the arrival of the negotiators from the demon side.

"Hey, Nero. How does it feel to be captured by the humans?" a teasing voice asked.

A woman in her early twenties suddenly appeared above the magic circle. Her skin could very well compete with that of a Chinese jade beauty.

It was white as snow and looked smooth from a distance. Her hair, a shade of dark blue, fell down to her waist.Her face radiated a charm that worked on even Zilan, who was sure that he couldn't be swayed by pretty women after being married for so long.

"Diana." Hecate smiled. "Looks like the king wanted things to be over quickly."

Since she was in her Nero form, Hecate had adopted all of the demon commander's personality. Since she had gotten to this while observing the demon personally for a long time, she had almost perfected everything about him.

"Looks like the humans couldn't wipe that arrogance out of you." Diana pouted. "Maybe I should leave you here."

"Sure. I can only imagine the king treating you with a big piece of chocolate later on." Hecate replied while maintaining the same smile on her face.

As for Julian and Zilan, both of them were left speechless. Their bodies were betraying them and their eyes were focused on Diana.

"You know, they still have me captured," Hecate pointed out.

Her hands were bound tight with magical cuffs yet she didn't look the least bit worried. Her powers of cloning really were frightening.

"You make me work too much." Diana sighed. "Just walk here and neither of them will be able to stop you."

Diana flicked her right index finger in Julian's direction before doing the same with Zilan. The two brothers froze on their spots, their eyes following Hecate.

The guardian casually moved towards Diana and held her hands forward.

'The sin of lust is frightening.' She mentally noted. Since she had copied Nero to near perfection, she had managed to copy some of his memories.

Unfortunately, most of his memories had been sealed by the demon king and the other sins. It was impossible for anyone to undo the seal, forcing them to resort to the current method.

Diana simply waved her right hand over the cuffs. Her power made the magical restraints vanish, leaving behind nothing.

"Our job here is done." Diana suddenly grinned. "This should also teach the humans a lesson to not mess with things happening outside their borders."

Diana flicked her finger in the brother's direction again. The power of her divinity caused the two brothers to shudder before Diana vanished with Hecate.

It took ten minutes for them to unfreeze but once they did, Zilan immediately glared at his brother.

"What do you really want to do, brother? I don't believe you if you say that the only thing you want to do is prevent the world domination that the demon race will do." Zilan stated.

"It is the only thing that I want to do." Julian replied with a cold look.

"Then what about your patron?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Zilan immediately teleported away from the island. He had prepared a magic circle just for this moment just in case things went out of control.

A horrible suppressing aura was released from Julian's body a second later. Fortunately, Zilan had already gotten himself out of the place or the aura would have crushed him down.

"Your brother isn't a desirable. People like him are the ones who will stab you in the back once you continue to become stronger."

The voice that echoed around the island made a crack run across it. Julian could feel his body humming with power upon hearing the voice.

"Your majesty, I will make sure to discipline him later on. There is nothing he can do as long as he and his family are under the oath they undertook," Julian said in a low tone. "He is quite useful or I would have tossed him aside by now.

"Indeed. He has the brains but not other things. Make sure you take a strict action against him." The voice vanished alongside the humming power Julian had felt.

The king of the Vancouver kingdom looked at the crack running across the island, his lips curling up into a small smile.

'Zilan, if you were a bit smarter, I would have included you in my plan. Sadly, you are not at that level yet.' Julian sighed before creating a teleportation magic circle.

The king teleported back to the Vancouver kingdom with two tasks in his mind. The first was to take an action against his brother and the second was to establish a connection with Hecate.

The first phase of his plan had come to pass…

***

AN: the second volume ends with that. The plot is finally coming together and the next volume is going to be quite long. Though this novel is quite slow paced, I like connecting the dots.

Any support you guys show is helpful! That being said, can I get a few reviews? I would like to know if there are things that I can improve.

Hopefully, I will see you all in the next volume. Have fun reading!
